ADD SWITCH TRUNK

Syntax

add switch trunk=name port=port

Parameters
trunk	Specifies the name of the port trunk to be modified.
port	Specifies the port to be added to the port trunk. You
	can add more than one port at a time. You can specify
	the ports individually (for example, 5,7,22), as a range
	(for example, 18-20), or both (for example, 1,14-16).
Description

This command adds ports to an existing port trunk. To view the trunks on a switch, refer to SHOW SWITCH TRUNK on page 193. To initially create a port trunk, refer to CREATE SWITCH TRUNK on page 188.

Caution

Disconnect all data cables from the ports of the trunk on the switch before using this command. Adding a port to a port trunk without first disconnecting the cables may result in loops in your network topology, which can produce broadcast storms and poor network performance.

Note

If the port you are adding will be the lowest numbered port in the trunk, its parameter settings will overwrite the settings of the existing ports in the trunk. Consequently, you should check to see that its settings are appropriate prior to adding it to the trunk. If the port will not be the lowest numbered port, then its settings are changed to match the settings of the existing ports in the trunk.

Example

The following command adds port 5 to a port trunk called load22:

add switch trunk=load22 port=5
